Senior Citizens Urged
To Check Coverage
__lnsurance Commissioner
Warren Evans u{!. “Mnx}v of

- Evans said, “‘Senior citizens
who have virtuelly nothing in
the way of assets or income
often have all, or nearly all, of
their modic:l expenses paicclil by
ernment programs such as
fi:iicaid. But those who aren’t
eligible for Medicaid usually
have to rely on Medicare, plus
their own income and assets,
plus their privae health in
surance policies.”
Evans said, ‘‘Medicare
might, for example, pay 80 per
cent of the ‘app:oved amount’
for an eye operation. But sup
pose Medicare says the ‘ap
proved amount’ is SI,OOO, and
the doctor actually charges
$1,500. Medicare would pagoon
!{ SBOO (80 percent of $1,000).
he patient would be responsi
ble for paying the other $700."
Evans said Medicare Sup
glement policies usually fiay
enefits based on what
Medicare pays. In other words,
if Medicare p:({s 80 percent of
the “ap&rov amount,” the
tyflical edicare Supplement
Po icy would &;y 20 percent,
or a total of 100 percent. “‘But
remember,”’ said Evans,
“that's 100 percent of what
Medicare regards as the ‘ap
proved amount.’ If the doctor
charges more than that,
Medicare’s 80 percent plus the
Medicare Supplement policy's
20 percent would still fall short
of paying the whole bill. Maybe
several hundred dollars short.”
Evans said some people try
to overcome that problem by
buying more than one
Medicare Supplement policy.
He said a better approach, if
the individual can afford it,
would be to buy one of the
more expensive Medicare Sup
g!;\ment policies which pays
efits based on the “usual,
customary and reasonable
cost” for that area. Even this,
however, may not cover 100
percent of the actual charges
not covered by Medicare. |
As for nursing home |
policies, Evans said, “You have |
to buy it before you need it. ‘
Most of these policies don't
fiay full benefits until you've
ad them in force for up to two
years. And you need to know
whether the policy pays for
skilled, intermediate, or
custodial care. Most long-term
nursing home patients only
need custodial care. But most
nursing heme policies don’t |
pay for custodial care. And
neither does Medicare."
“It's like most of the things
we b:fi'" said Evans, ‘“you
fiener ly get what you pay for.
ow-cost health insurance
policies typically offer con
siderably less in the way of
benefits than the more expen
sive policies provide."
Evans recommended that
senior citizens and their
families try to plan ahead as
best they can. ‘‘As people get
older, and as their parents and
E:ndparents get older, it
omes imperative to consider
how health care bills will be
K{m’d. Those who assume that
edicare will take care of all or
most of the expense are likely
to be disappointed. Or maybe
‘shocked’ would be a better

the Internal Revenue Service.
“We have issued regulations

“Fringe benefits considered in

According to the regula

‘“A commercial airline
employee will not be taxed on
passes for himself, his spouse,
or his children, but will be tax

over to other relatives or
friends,” stated Hightower.
“The amount subject to tax
generally will be 25 percent of
the full coach fare.”
Fringe benefits considered
tax-exempt under these regula
tions include employer
financed health insurance, and
the first $50,000 of group life
insurance. Other tax-free
benefits include qualified
employee discounts, benefits
that cost the employer little or
nothing extra, and benefits
that are considered part of
working conditions, such as
company-paid subscriptions to
business-related magazines.
